This is still working. I just downgraded service for a $5 fee but it was VERY easy to call and get the Welcome Package along with the Public Access Channels. I was surprised at how smooth it went.

I just converted from DishNow to Flex. What an adventure. 4 different CS reps but I was still able to get the Welcome Package and Public Access Channels. No mention of locals by the reps. Save yourself some time and ask the first person you are connected with to transfer you to the pre-paid...

So I have the Family package today and also a pre-paid receiver that has not been converted to Flex. Can I downgrade my Family pack before 2/1 or set up my pre-pay for the Welcome pack before 2/1?

I added a couple days to my pre-paid account last week and it sounded like you could still activate a receiver based on the prompts. I hope they keep it past September. No FlexTV for me!

That is where I was getting at. Does the LNB on the Dish 500 have 2 cables coming from it? If so, a second RG-6 can be run to the bedroom you want to add the pre-paid receiver to. If you have no more LNB outputs available, you can buy a DP-34 or clone switch (Sadoun has one) - providing you...

We can't really tell based on your note. What type of receiver(s) and dish do you have today? If you have a D500 and an existing receiver, it might be as simple as another cable run or installing a switch and a cable run. Can you describe your existing system? If you are looking at a new...

Thanks for your efforts and the update!

I activated a pre-paid 301 on 12/28 via the phone number steelersrule suggested in an earlier post and ordered the AT250 package for 2 days with a green dot money pack. It worked flawlessly. I haven't done anything with the system since then but will try again in a few days and report back...

I just traveled by air with a pre-paid 301 with little trouble with the TSA. I had the receiver in the original box placed inside a carry-on bag. First security check didn't even want the box out of the suitcase and just went through the detector. The second time they asked me to take the box...

Scott - thanks for posting the manual and spec sheet!

I would suggest you notify your HOA of your plan to install the dish (assuming you want to) and forward a copy of the FCC information so you don't break any rules of notification, etc. It would be more diplomatic and puts it on them to start the war. If you search this site (and some others)...

While I was hoping to get a DTVPal before my coupons expired, I ended up getting 4 other boxes. From what I see, the DTVPal has many nice features and is a familiar product to those with Dish but I wouldn't knock the DTX9950. It is a lot less hassle to walk into a Radio Shack and buy one and...

I've played with 4 different boxes so far and like the Digital Stream the best so far for features and sensitivity.

Thanks for the clarification!

Does the downgrade fee apply if you keep the same service but reduce the number of receivers that you lease?

A couple months ago a saw a related thread and called into the normal customer service rep. twice and was rejected when I asked for the PI Pack. I have the family package and they said since I get some of these channles now, I don't qualify for any more. How do you bypass the CSR and get tech...

Thanks Tony! I appreciate the time you took to expain them and list them out. I will call Dish and give it a try.

What are "PI Channels" and how do you request them? I am ordering the family package from a retailer. I did a quick search here with no luck. Thanks
